Conor McGregor’s gangster pals Andrew and Jonathan Murray’s high life alongside the UFC sensation revealed
We reveal how the gangster brothers have hit the jackpot thanks to their unlikely friendship with the Notorious, 29, who boasts a net worth of more than €100million
GANGSTER brothers Andrew and Jonathan Murray enjoy boasting about living the high life alongside UFC sensation Conor McGregor.
The infamous siblings, who have at least 66 convictions between them, including for drug offences, are fond of flashing their bling.
And we can today reveal how they have hit the jackpot thanks to their unlikely friendship with the Notorious, 29, who boasts a net worth of more than €100million.
The Murrays are childhood friends of the minted dad-of-one, and have become a part of the controversial fighter’s extended entourage.
Our exclusive photos show them enjoying the red carpet treatment with their loyal MMA pal.
The ex-cons, from Crumlin in Dublin, regularly fly with McGregor on his private jet.
They also travelled to Las Vegas for his billion-dollar fight with boxer Floyd Mayweather last year, and then partied hard with him in Sin City after he lost the bout.
But the shady pair both have extensive criminal pasts.
Jonathan Murray was jailed for 18 months for his part in what was described in court as a “sickening” attack on a man in 2012.
In addition, he has 48 convictions, including four for drug dealing.
Andrew has 18 previous convictions, which include possession of drugs for sale or supply, theft, forgery and public order offences. When he was convicted of unlawful possession of drugs in 2014 he was photographed giving the middle finger to the camera.
They were both in McGregor’s company last week when he attacked a luxury coach at a UFC event, resulting in criminal charges.
They continued bragging after the shocking bus attack, despite a warrant being issued for Conor’s arrest by New York cops.
Posting a series of badly-written gloating snaps, thug Jonathan boasted: “The don’t give a b****x crew.”
He went on: “We took over an we done it in Gucci style hahaha we took there birds clothes they fitt nice we didn’t do it f*****g mafia style we done it f*****g Don style.”
The pair were also behind the video and images which showed McGregor throwing cash at strippers just months after his bout with Mayweather, which we exclusively revealed last November.
Both are fiercely proud of their friendship with Conor and of their Crumlin roots, regularly bragging on social media about their good fortune and McGregor’s generosity.
Andy recently posted a photo of a nightclub’s VIP area and wrote: Hahahahahahha yesssssss #d12 #alltheway @thenotoriousmma. Always well looked after by the champ champ #toast.”
After Conor surrendered to US cops, Andy shared a snap of the siblings posing in front of a private jet and joked: “We’re on the way to collect you champ champ #stayready #thepupispiloting.”
They have also dubbed themselves “the a-team”, “the don’t give a b****x crew” and the “Irish mafia”.
Brother Jonathan is equally proud of his Conor connection and frequently gushes about loyalty and honour in Instagram posts.
On Wednesday he shared a snap of himself with McGregor, who has no involvement in crime, and waffled: “There is no caption for this cause it’s called true loyal always on time for anyone #pittythefool that try’s get in the middle of that tight as f*** yupyaa.”
And just like their famous fighter friend, the drug dealers frequently share videos of themselves working out online.
Jonathan posted a selfie this week and wrote: “Monday session be happy for people an yourself if yea can’t log off Instagram happy Monday felling fresh sharp an happy. Yuppyaa Murra.”
Meanwhile, an MMA fighter has claimed McGregor was set to confirm his triumphant return to the UFC last weekend.
Middleweight Michael Bisping revealed that the Notorious was primed for a special announcement during the UFC 223 pay-per-view event.
However, the top secret arrangements were put on hold when McGregor and his entourage went on the rampage at the Brooklyn publicity bash.
Speaking on his official podcast, Bisping claimed: “By all accounts, Conor was going to be at the Barclays Center on Saturday night to make an announcement.
“It was going to be a title fight or whatever the fight was going to be . . . I’m sworn to secrecy so I can’t say, but he was going to be there.”
Conor broke his social media silence this week, posting a cute pic of his partner Dee Devlin and their young son enjoying some family time.

The 29-year-old wrote: “I have the best job in the world looking after my family. If we all look after our own, we are all looked after.”
McGregor is believed to be staying at Loews Regency Hotel in Manhattan after being released on $50,000 bail last week following the infamous altercation in a Brooklyn car park.
If convicted on all charges, he faces up to seven years imprisonment.
